How to Use

Using Units

• Use EM for Padding, Margin, Width, Height, Transforms, & Font Sizes
• Use PX only for things that won't break the design if they don't scale such as border widths & drop-shadow distances
• Use % (optional) for columns inside containers

Scaling

• On tablet and below, change the body font size to PX or higher VW number
• On desktop, the design will scale up seamlessly. It will stop scaling when it reaches the max width of 1440px.
• There is no need to add larger breakpoints

Come in, hang out and have some fun! For anyone who isn’t sure what we are on about, Drop In is essentially our version of a youth club.  Drop In runs every week and is a great way of meeting new friends and finding new passions… and it is totally free! Drop In is your space. Whether you want to chill and chat with your friends, play computer games or do something more active or creative, we aim to provide a space for you to just be you. Drop In takes place in our youth hall which has everything you need.  There are comfy sofas, games, computers, pool, table tennis, air hockey, and sometimes you can even use our recording studio. Our team of youth workers are there to support you, whether you are in the mood for a quiet bit of nail painting or if you want help arranging a massive game of dodgeball! And if it hasn’t been your day, our team are also trained and equipped to talk you through any issues, questions, challenges or worries you might be facing.

We see a future in which young people are change makers, with clear confident voices that are heard above the noise. A future in which any young person from any background can grow and flourish to become their best selves. In that future they exercise both their rights and responsibilities and invest their lives in building strong communities. We walk together with young people as trusted partners who support, guide, inspire and empower them with that future in mind. We are the Mix.

What’s a Rich Text element?

This is a subheading and where it goes in the document flow

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

White mug with coffee. Volunteering opportunities at The Mix

Do you have some spare time and understand the potential of our amazing young people? Maybe you want to give something back to the community?

Are you looking to build up your confidence for returning to work, want to build up your CV with some experience for going to college or Uni, maybe you are retired with a wealth of life experience and would like to give something back. Anyone from age 17 is welcome to join us. Listening, smiling, encouraging or supporting, just being there for a few hours a week/fortnight really does make a difference to the young people, our team and the wider community.

There are many different ways to volunteer at The Mix, whether it’s as part of our youth work team, or more behind the scenes, such as through helping out in our coffee shop, or helping with admin or fundraising.

Many of our volunteers would testify to the fact that they get more than they give. Spending time with young people or the knowledge that you have played even a small role in their life is both a joy and a privilege. Helping out behind the scenes is just as satisfying and our volunteers say that they love being part of a team.

If you would like to find out a little bit more about how you can get involved with the work we do, then please get in touch!

All our volunteers are given the training and support they need. By completing an application form, you can get the ball rolling...We hope to hear from you soon.
